Peter Wolf Chronicles Encounters with Legends in New Memoir
The former J. Geils Band frontman shares stories of iconic figures and personal reflections in 'Waiting on the Moon.'
- Peter Wolf's memoir 'Waiting on the Moon' presents a series of vivid, short stories about his interactions with cultural icons, from Marilyn Monroe to Bob Dylan.
- The book avoids a conventional linear structure, focusing instead on Wolf's unique experiences with artists, musicians, and luminaries across decades.
- While the memoir touches on Wolf's marriage to Faye Dunaway and his time in the J. Geils Band, it emphasizes his admiration for the people he encountered rather than personal controversies.
- Wolf recounts formative moments, such as his friendships with blues legends Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, and his early connection with Van Morrison during the creation of 'Astral Weeks.'
- Alongside the memoir, Wolf is planning a new solo album and a reissue of the J. Geils Band's 1972 live album, 'Full House,' while continuing to advocate for the band's potential Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.
